Hakafa means "encirclement."
We are a Reform congregation
of people who choose
to have no building,
no board of directors,
and no fund-raising.
Our CIRCLE has been growing
for more than 40 years. But as we grow,
our intimate, caring, and
welcoming atmosphere remains.

Tot Tu B'Shvat
in the Jungle

Introduce your toddler (ages 0-4) to the themes of Tu B’Shvat as we decorate our own planters, pot a plant, meet some exotic animals, and explore “the jungle” in a unique location. We’ll sing about trees and plants and make some great, green memories together!

Rosh Chodesh Adar Discussion

Thursday, Feb. 20 - 7:00 PM 

Join Hakafa member, Rachel Levin, for a Rosh Chodesh discussion to celebrate the Hebrew month of Adar. Adar is the month that we are commanded to increase joy by our Sages. This month is all about learning how to grow and heal through joy and laughter by embracing our inner divinity. We will discuss what that looks like in our daily lives.

Advance registration is required here. 

Northbrook location will be provided after registration.
